snowflakes, purses

Saturday morning Michael left for golf (coming in later with an 84) and I had a long chat with Mary Jo.  It was wonderful talking…but the really good news is that she’ll be here in THREE WEEKS!!!!!!  I eventually headed to the studio to work on stuff and finished up some new snowflakes:

 

Then I took a break and had a nice long chat with Connie, who stopped in on her way to work….we were supposed to talk about knitting, but ‘life’ intruded instead and we talked about our upcoming doctor’s visits for physical's  L.

 I was downstairs again by 1:30 and finished off 7 more purses:

 

 

Jan and Walt came over at 5:30 for Mexican Chicken Soup and popovers (Michael's absolute favorite and I don't get to make them very often because the oven temp they cook at is incompatible with anything else), and we left at 6:30 for the symphony in Charlotte.  It was a salute to Benny Goodman, with the most incredible 28 year old clarinet player you ever heard.  We were home before 11:30, but stayed up for just a bit to give the bed a chance to get warm (electric blankets….hooray!)
